The Situation
Although I have been making an effort to complete most of the side quests along the way, I must have skipped more than I realized, because I have arrived at Alderaan and I'm not ready for this yet. The increase in difficulty was a nasty surprise, and it's just not fun.
The Question
It's easy to say, "just go back and do the side quests", but not that simple to implement. I bought some minor space exp boosts, which are dirt cheap on GTN, and I've been doing the space mission dailies, which brings in 18-20K exp. But I'm wondering if someone here might have a better suggestion?
The Details
Yes, my equipment is reasonably up to date, the same for my companions in general, and particularly so for Qyzen Fess. Yes, I understand that my primary tools are my force abilities, rather than my lightsabre. Yes, I understand the different Companion stances, and what they do. Yes, I use the internet resources, where I can find useful ones amid the great mass of outdated and/or irrelevant and/or flat wrong dreck.
